Thrift Store Thursday-11/05

First of all I should say that I have forgotten what all I got at thrift stores in the past month! That either means that they’ve been integrated into to daily use so well that I don’t think anything of it, or that it’s shoved in a closet somewhere. Probably some of both.

Never fear, though. I have plenty to show you. The same day I found my perfect table, I got this cute little cafe cart for $7. I’m currently testing it out in my master bath, where, I must say, it looks pretty cute.

I got this coffee table from a craigslist ad for $30, to replace the one from Ikea (I love Ikea!; it was just getting banged up). I like the plank top and the openness of the bottom shelf, so you can still see floor and it takes up less space visually.

Just in the last few days I’ve decided to start collecting a few vintagy-y mirrors for something I have in mind. I paid less than $1 for the middle one, and the other 2 were right about $6/ea. The one on the right I think really is old; it has a very pretty frame and beveled edges.

And, I went to United Volunteers for 25% off everything. I got this pair of Gap pants, the large letter A, the ceramic sled for Dixie, who has recently started a collection, the skinny mirror above, plus 2 binders for Firstborn. With the discount, the total was $7.20.

But wait! It was also Wild Card Wednesday; draw a joker from a pack of cards and get $5 off your purchase. Which I did, so my final cost for all these things was $2.20!

Well, I hope some of you remembered my party and are ready to link up. I don’t mind if you use an old post if need be.

i love your Thrift Store Thursdays. Thank you so much for letting us share with each other. Isn't it fun, it's like show and tell days at school. Thank you too, for visiting junkblossoms. Your idea for using the clamps as displays for small items is a great idea.

you got some great deals. I bought a similar coffee table a month or so ago at a garage sale for $5 - mine is not in such good shape as yours though, it's sitting in the garage at the moment until I figure out if I'm going to stain the top darker or paint the top.I just made a post and put my link up.

Holly,I'm so glad you're still doing Thrift Store Thursday. I fully intend to participate soon. I would have this last week, but didn't get a chance to get online at all. I have some great treasures (in my own eyes) to talk about. Thanks for hosting!Erin

I am a thrift store junkie like you and have gotten some cool things, but I am confused about your party. You don't have an area at the bottom of your post to link to like the other parties. They all then show links on your blog that toggle back to the owners blog. Terry
